Trick or Treat


Eric, Kaleb and me with my niece Madeline. Madeline and I attempted to walk through the haunted house - but it was a failed attempt. It was "too FREAKY" as she put it. :)

Fun-filled fall

What a beautiful fall we've had this year - and how jam-packed it's been. A few visits home to Sheridan to can tomatoes and peaches with my mom - and Kaleb loves to sport an apron. Don't tell daddy. I secretly want him to be the next Bobby Flay. Too much Food Network for me. I digress.

Kaleb got his first ride on a horse (as nervous mommy watched) and loved every moment of it. He knows exactly what sounds horses make and loves to make his lips work like a horse. He has a rocking horse at home and can't get on it without putting his cowboy hat on.

October started off with a blast, and a big birthday bash for Eric - as he turned FORTY! We filled our house with twenty-some adults and lots of kids. It was a good celebration with family and friends. The party wasn't complete without a bottle of Nioxin for hair loss and some gag gifts, but I must admit the friends were a lot nicer than I anticipated with their gifts. We have such wonderful friends :) We rounded out October with pumpkin carving, trick or treating at the college and a birthday celebration for me at Lydias. Kaleb really started to understand the candy part of trick or treating - and he didn't lack in candy, that's for sure.

We've been very blessed with finding a church-home finally and it feels really good to be back in fellowship. We've also joined a home group and I am co-leading a women's group for mommy's with pre-school aged children. We're doing a study group on the book "The Power of a Positive Mom" by Karol Ladd. It's compelling, convicting and teaching me so much about being not just a mom, but a positive, impactful spirit led mom. It's been a wonderful book and the group of women are encouraging and fun.

As Thanksgiving nears we are looking forward to Eric's flagship project being completed and the launch of his new re-structured business - Diggstown Project Management. For your viewing enjoyment, please check out his new website (which I designed) at www.diggstownconstruction.com which will be up and running by November 7th.
